Jaxson Ryker made a surprise return to WWE in a segment with Elias during the Main Event taping recorded prior to tonight's Raw. Fightful is reporting that the return surprised several people backstage.

The segment with Elias is reported to be a "dry run" to see how the duo work together after it was recently pitched to Vince McMahon. The pair will be watched closely to see how well they are received before moving forward.

Earlier this year, Ryker made some controversial tweets about "Black Lives Matter" and officials were not high on him, so his return is an interesting one to watch.
